Talmud su Geremia 28:78
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
HALAKHAH: “And the false prophet,” etc. “And one who prophesies what he did not hear,” like Ṣedekias ben Kenaana811K. 22:11, Babli 89a.. “And what was not said to him,” like Ḥanania ben Azzur. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Ḥanania ben Azzur was a true prophet;82Since Jeremiah called him a prophet. only he took instruction83Deriving the unexplained word קיבוסת from Arabic قنس which among other meanings also signifies “to take instructions from somebody.” The background is explained in the Babli, 89a: Since Hanania had heard Jeremiah predict the downfall of Elam, which the talmudic authors take as an ally, not an adversary, of Babylonia, and concluded that if the ally fell, the principal would fall with him. and heard what Jeremiah prophesied in the upper market; he went and prophesied in the lower market. Ḥanania ben Azzur told him, is not the essence84Explaining סמא either from Arabic سما “to be high” or from Latin summa. of the matter only once seventy years will be fullfilled for Babylon, I shall remember you85Jer. 29:10.. In all, the days of Manasse were 55 years. Deduct from them 20 years for which the Heavenly Court does not punish or extirpate, add the two of Amon and 31 of Josia86This follows the author of Kings who puts all blame for the Babylonian exile on Manasse. While the numbers add up to 68, they make no sense. Manasse became king at age 12, therefore he was responsible during 47 years of kingship. (For the doctrine that people become responsible adults in the eyes of Heaven at age 20, cf. Bikkurim 2:1, Note 13, Babli Šabbat 89b.) Josia became king at age 8; his 31 years therefore should be reduced to 23 but, since he was the only good king following Manasse, he should not be counted at all. Adding then 2 for Amon, 11 for Joyakim, and 5 for Sedekias, one only obtains 65 years (or 66 if a full year is counted for Joyachin.). That is what is written87Jer.28:1–3.: At the beginning of the reign of Ṣedekias the king of Jehudah, in the fifth88In the verse: fourth. year, in the fifth month, Ḥanania ben Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, said to me in the House of the Eternal, before the priests and all the people, as follows: So said the Eternal of Hosts, the God of Israel, as follows. I broke the yoke of the king of Babylon; in another two years I shall return to this place all the Temple vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this city and brought to Babylon. Jeremiah told him, you are saying thatin another two years I shall return, etc. But I say that Nebuchadnezzar will come and take the remainder. To Babylon they will be brought and stay there89Jer. 27:22., etc. He90Hananiah. said to him, give a sign. He91Jeremiah. answered, I am prophesying bad things and cannot give a sign for my words since the Holy One, praise to Him, said to bring evil and might refrain from it92This is generally accepted; repentance always may avert evil.. But you prophesy good things; you are obligated to give a sign. He90Hananiah. said to him, no, it is you who has to give a sign for your words. He91Jeremiah. answered, if it is so, I shall give a sign and miracle in the person of that man; this year he dies, for he spoke obstinately about the Eternal. This happened to him; Ḥanania the prophet died in this year, in the Seventh month93Jer. 28:17. While the Talmud assumes that the “Day of Remembrance,” the first of the seventh month, always was New Year’s Day, it is clear that Jer. follows the Judean calendar which starts the year in Spring.. This was another year and you are saying so? But it teaches that he died on the Eve of New Year’s Day and ordered his sons and wife to hide the matter, that they should bury him after the new Year in order to falsify Jeremiah’s prophecy.
